Absorbing, Ambitious, Great acting, Intense, Resonant

See it if Waiting for Godot influence is clever and apt as structure; all three actors are superb

Don't see it if WFG structure and necessary preshow warnings essentially spoils direction and seemingly necessary lesson for real-life reflection
